Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
The scythe tools
Making a horse shoe
Another shoe on the way
Shaping a horse shoe
A little help from a large hammer
Too fast to photograph.
A job well done
Happy at the bellows
Scythe straightening
Happy hammering
Hammer at the ready
Faster than the camera.
Starting again
Scythe straightening
Team work at the forge
There's a hammer there somewhere
